Pared down my collection a bit, getting rid of a Nording, a Peterson, and a long-stemmed Italian. Now every one of my guys is a winner!
-2 Missouri Meerschams
-Gepetto Bent Rhodesian
-Castello KK Sea Rock
-Molina Freehand/Horn
-Caminetto "Super Moustache" Bent Egg
-Nording Ace Horn
I'm trying to have only one of each maker, so I traded in my lesser Nording and kept the horn. I'm tempted to pick up another Peterson to replace the one I traded in, but I'm a little wary. A lot of the Petersons I've seen in person are drilled poorly. There is one with a good-looking draw, an Aran Rusticated bent billiard, that I have asked to put on hold.
I may yet pick up a Dunhill, probably a shell briar. I also have been thinking of a Meerscham, but I really love to be able to take my pipes wherever I like, regardless of temperature. I suppose I use my cobs as "durable" Meerscham replacements
